Ill-founded conjecture based upon borrowed wisdom, and stolen insights
I'd nearly forgotten that the SWP existed.

All wrong 'uns, in my experience
I could be persuaded that not every member is focused on capturing grass movement structures through entrist takeovers, but the ones I've met, mostly, were
Sultana says she would reverse the expulsions of SWP and other communists kicked out for "dual membership" in recent weeks

If I were Tory leader I'd simply avoid saying things a 12 year old RE student would know to be bollocks.

As ever she doesn't bother to do her homework, churches took tithes from their parishioners and distributed alms at the parish level.

Listening to an interview with a North Korean refugee, and have just realised "the homopase" she keeps on mentioning is "the home office"

You should see how they all do with making a clock... updates every minute, and somehow most never get any better at it.. and those that do, will not necessarily in the next minute.

In good things news, the bottle of "Mogu Mogu Mango" I thought was thick mango juice, is actually chunks of mango just small enough to get through the bottle neck, in thick mango juice, and is both ludicrously yummy and properly filling.

Highly recommended.

Thinking back I had more whiteys to Hawkwind, than any other band.

They'd play free concerts, when cider was cheap and people set up bucket bongs for their shit soapbar
saw Hawkwind/Osric Tentacles back in the day, can't remember when or where, I was utterly banjaxxed

The History Reclaimed folks want the stuff they learnt at school to be what is still understood to be true, it makes no sense for the sciences and it makes no sense for history.

Unless, of course, you think the purpose of subject of history is national myth building, rather than informing students

I got it wrong when I was 8, but regularly surprised that serious well-educated British people say something closer to "island" than "ire-land" when discussing things in Ireland.

I've accidentally become a little bit hooked on Talking Feds with Harry Litman

I don't live in the US, but he does such a good job of exasperatingly explaining every Trump regime legal action is guano

This weekend my friends have insisted I try Stormworks: Build and Rescue, and I have so far spent half my waking hours trying to build a tiny lifeboat that I want to be self righting

and fortunately it provides all the sensors, and logic gate functionality for me to automate much of the system

There's a GOP congressman called Brian Fitzpatrick which always reminds me of the old joke which I'll transpose: "the happiest Irish gays: Brian Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Fitzbrian"

Why now?

If Russia can try to get the US to impose this now, why not a while back?

This is the same nonsense they pronounced before.

Fair play to Lindsey Halligan, for all her faults, her for all her incompetence, she does look like a Female Lawyer from a US TV Law series, to the point of cliché

Is there any way to pressure MoS to drop him as a columnist

Bet his column isn't a solid as it used to be before he got old, tired, and had a wife that powned him.
All hail the king of the world.

I so hate that ghastly inflated sociopath of piffle

So much blood on his hands, and so little chance of him feeling an iota of guilt
UK Covid Inquiry concludes: 23,000 deaths could've been prevented if the March 2020 lockdown had been imposed just a week earlier.

No mistake by any prime minister in living memory has caused so many deaths in the UK.

The tragic and catastrophic price of Boris Johnson's incompetence & negligence.
